The Men's Health Low-Calorie Beer Awards

These full-bodied beers will satisfy your gut without making it grow

When beer calories are at stake, sometimes you want as much flavor for as few of the little belly-bloaters as possible. Considering that some high-alcohol beers on the shelves can top 300 calories a serving, it’s a challenge trying to find the best light beer. Thankfully, for gut-conscious consumers, brewers are now turning their expertise toward beers that taste incredible, but also go lower on the calories. We sipped a bunch of low-calorie beers from across the United States, starred our favorites, and then put them together in this to-drink list. This summer, pick up these six-packs so you can still work on chiseling a set of your own.

It has 40 to 50 more calories per bottle than a typical light beer would, but the flavor is so satisfying that you'll only need one. Enjoy it with an equally light meal, such as a simple roasted chicken and sauteed spinach.
